Critical Acclaim for The Dig: Zoe and Zeus

“If you like mythology, smart girls, and dreamy-eyed boys then The Dig is definitely a book you want to check out.”
–Dulcy, My Summer Girl Books

“Zeus–a hot, immortal, teenage boy. Who can fly. Yep, that’s the whole package.”
–Ana Turner, What YA Reading

“Hart brings us the most original and probably most fun look at Greek mythology in a long time. She takes the whole cast of them, Zeus, Athena, Hera, and nine others, and turns them into teenagers with emotions, fears, and hormones.”
–S. Stevenson

“Zoe was fresh. Her witty monologues, fast-paced action, and fresh Greek mythology take this book to the next level.”
–Grace Smith, Words Like Silver

“Take one part Percy Jackson + a dash of time travel + mix well with equal parts romance and adventure and you get The Dig.”
–Alison M., The Cheap Reader

“Risk a paper cut? It only comes in digital form right now, so there's no danger! But even if there were danger of a paper cut, I'd still advise you to read The Dig as soon as possible.”
–Rachel Hoyt, Paper Cuts

“Dust off those old Greek legends and prepare for a new twist from Audrey Hart. The Dig takes what we all have read about Greek gods and puts a young, sassy twist to their myths and legends that teens will love and identify with.”
–Celine Garcia, I Blog U Read

“[Zoe] is witty and entertaining, smart and sarcastic…This was a fun and fresh romance that had me turning the pages as fast as possible. I look forward to the next installment of Zoe and Zeus. Write on, Audrey. Write on.”
–Deborah J. Andreasen

“The Dig is a cross between Percy Jackson, a bit of time travel, sprinkled with Lara-Croft adventure and a little bit of teen romance: The perfect combination…Greek mythology has never been more interesting and engaging to read since Percy Jackson. I never thought I’d fall in love with Zeus!”
–Chucha, Reviews of a Book Maniac

“Classical Greek Mythology is turned on its ear in The Dig….Ms. Hart has a knack for creating characters you can relate to and ones you love to hate. Zoe leapt off the page with her insecurities, intelligence, and strength of character. Fast-paced and humorous, The Dig brings history to life with a vengeance.”
--Star, Bibliophilic Book Blog

“Powerful and passionate. The Dig brings such life, such mystical creativity and vibrance with a unique ancient twist. I just loved how different this one is and sank right into the storyline. Audrey really knows how to capture her readers.”
--Jodie Baker, Uniquely Moi Books

“The Dig is pure fun. It has everything that makes for a really fun read: time travel, Greek gods, and of course, a little bit of romance.”

THE DIG: ZOE AND ZEUS

Zoe Calder has always been an outsider. Stashed away in boarding schools since her parents died, Zoe buries herself in the study of ancient worlds. Her greatest thrill is spending her summers with her archeologist aunt and uncle on digs around the world. And one day, while investigating a newly unearthed temple in Crete, Zoe discovers a luminous artifact that transports her to ancient Greece.

As Zoe quickly learns, the Olympian Gods are real, living people—humans with mysterious powers… Powers that Zoe quickly realizes she has come to possess, as well. However, when the people of ancient Greece mistake Zoe for an Olympian, the Gods must restore the balance of the ancient world… No matter what.

Zoe is forced to play a confusing and dangerous game as Hera rallies the gods against her—all except for Zeus, the beautiful, winged young god who risks everything to save her.

Author Audrey Hart came up with the idea for The Dig: Zoe and Zeus while visiting the Minoan ruins in Crete. The Dig is the first book in a trilogy.
